Elite retirement village
More than 300 Spectus Elite 70 System windows have been used in the construction of a new-build retirement village in Chorley town centre.
Chorley Council commissioned the 65-apartment retirement village to provide those aged 55 and above with an independent living space with access to care and support. The development is part of the Council’s strategic masterplan for the town centre.
The window contract on the build was awarded to Spectus Approved Window Contractor Jade Window and Door Specialists, a family run company based in Batley with over 25 years’ experience in the industry.
More than 300 windows were installed into the 65 apartments, with thermal efficiency being a particular focus to keep running costs on the apartments to a minimum. The Elite 70 five-chamber system was used as it is capable of achieving a Window Energy Rating of A+ and U-values as low as 0.8W/m2K. The system is also Secured by Design accredited.
Careful programming and logistics planning was required to deliver the project on schedule due to its central location.
